BlackRock shifts to private markets as ETF fees compress
Retail and high-net-worth investors can now access private equity and credit asset classes previously reserved for institutional players. This shift follows BlackRock's acquisition of Global Infrastructure Partners and HPS Investment Partners. The firm has pivoted into infrastructure and private credit to offset fee compression in its core ETF business. Private credit has been the firm's fastest-growing segment since 2024.
